Episode 10 | We’re Not Perfect Christians: Friendship Breakups, Church & What Shifted Exposed
ShiftedShow Notes
Season 2 starts with a catch-up , but there's a lot more to catch up on than Mimi and Olgah expected.
During their break, both girls experienced friendship changes, personal struggles and moments that forced them to confront things they hadn't fully dealt with.
They open up about how reactions to Season 1 triggered childhood insecurities, the pressure they felt to appear like “perfect Christians”, and what it's like navigating a friendship and a podcast while being at different stages in their walks with God.
They also ask a bigger question: What if, before God restores something, He first reveals what needs to change?
From humility and biblical knowledge to finding churches rooted in Scripture, Mimi and Olgah return for Season 2 with less pressure to have all the answers and a willingness to let Shifted continue shifting them too.
Welcome back to Shifted. 🤍

Would you move in with your boyfriend before marriage? And how much influence should your friends or spiritual leaders have over the decisions you make? In this dilemma episode of Shifted The Pod, Mimi and Olgah explore the complicated space between personal conviction, biblical boundaries and the expectations of others. From navigating temptation and the rising cost of living to friendships where accountability starts to feel like judgement, the girls unpack what it means to develop a genuine relationship with God rather than simply following someone else's rules. They also discuss spiritual leadership, submission and the importance of asking questions as we grow in faith. When does guidance become control? And how do you know whether a conviction is truly your own? Join the conversation and let us know what shifted you. 🤍
What happens when you love God, but struggle to spend time with Him?
The Devil Has No Authority In this Story time episode, Olgah shares a story from a hotel stay that changed the way she understood spiritual warfare, prayer and the authority we have as believers. From sleep paralysis and calling on the name of Jesus, to declaring who she is and whose she is, Olgah reflects on what happens when we realise the spiritual realm is real but also that darkness does not have the final say. Mimi and Olgah discuss spiritual sensitivity, recognising the enemy's tactics, intercession, praying over your home and food, and why there is nothing embarrassing about being the person who prays. But most importantly, they explore why Christians shouldn't become consumed by darkness. Our focus isn't the demonic. Our focus is Jesus. Because darkness cannot overwhelm light.
